[edit] Mission

CEASA is the committee of evaluation academic standards and admissions. Unlike more mainstream school systems, Inglenook gives power to the student body. If disciplanary measures are required, 2 students and teachers meet with the students involved and deal with the situation. The schools disciplinary committee is made up of students and teachers. There are no detentions and no letters home. Students are responsible for getting to class and getting their work done. The school also creates an environment ready to adapt and change to the specific students enrolled each year.

[edit] Beliefs

There is a welcoming environment for students of different backgrounds, ages and sexual orientation.

[edit] Features

Inglenook also offers a special program called Outreach, which takes place every Wednesday morning. Each student is expected to volunteer in the community and relate this experience to one of their academic courses. Students can volunteer in schools, senior citizens' homes, the food bank, the Toronto Humane Society, and an enormous number of other possibilities.

The school also includes a kitchen with open access for students, as well as a public art gallery. The school operates with a very capable staff which includes two coordinators.
